Career

In the early 2000s, Colonel Mustafa teamed up with his childhood friend Nasty Thomas. They formed a hip-hop and pop duo called Deux Vultures. At first, the group was called Desert Vultures and had up to 20 members. They were discovered by Lucas from Ogopa Deejays during a jam session.

Their first single, “Mona Lisa,” became a huge hit in Kenya. After that, they released other popular songs like “Katika” and “Adhiambo C,” which featured benga musician Dola Kabarry. Their album, “Katika,” came out around 2004.

Deux Vultures joined Ogopa Deejays in 2003. This label is well-known in Kenyan music. That same year, they briefly left to start their own label called Bad Man Camp with other artists like Longombas.

However, they later returned to Ogopa. In 2008, they were nominated for a Kisima Music Award. They won an award in 2004, but there was some controversy because it was in the Tanzania/Uganda category, even though they were a Kenyan group.

Colonel Mustafa faced tough times after the Nairobi Diaries. The COVID-19 pandemic made things worse. It cut down his income from music. To support himself and his sick mother, he started working in construction. His mother was fighting cancer. In 2023, a viral video showed him working at a construction site.

This video made people care about his situation. Many people helped him raise over KSh 1 million for his mother’s medical bills. To make more money, he also opened a clothing shop in Nairobi’s Eastlands. He did this because local music was not making enough money anymore.
